I'm trying to ID this unmarked trapdoor buttplate. It came on a Winchester 1885 Highwall in 22 Hornet. The barrel has Springfield Armory markings, is marked 22 Hornet and is stamped 10-31which I believe is October 1931. I've searched the internet but have come up empty and would appreciate any info. Could this be a Springfield Armory build? The buttplate measures 4-7/8" x 1-5/8"

your 'hi-wall' has had a springfield .22 l.r. barrel installed and chambered for the .22 hornet, a common practice years back. no idea about the butt plate
